Your dad just won his second NCAA championship, and you just got your first job with a Division I power conference with Minnesota. So, Richard Pitino, we’re assuming that your expectations for the 2013-14 season include world domination, right?

Not so much, Pitino tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press. In fact, he calls returning to the NCAA Tournament, where the Gophers finished last season, “unrealistic,” based on the losses of seniors Trevor Mbakwe and Rodney Williams, who combined to average 20.1 points per game in 2012-13.

Pitino is replacing Tubby Smith, a former assistant coach under Pitino’s father, Rick, at Kentucky.

"My expectations are, honestly, whenever you take a new job, to establish my brand on these guys, the culture I want to do."

But like his dad Rick, Richard plans to press and play up-tempo.

"It's not what Coach Smith did is wrong," he said. "He did a lot of great things, and he's going to continue to do a lot of great things in this game. But I've just got to now install my system and install the way I do things."

Minnesota finished 21-13 and lost in the third round of the NCAA Tournament to Florida.
